    The Mariana Trench seems to be deeper, 11000 m compared to 7000 m. But I’m not sure what’s the reference point on Mars for elevation. But at least can’t fall into the Mariana Trench

      why not? is there some local anomaly that causes gravity not to work?

        I wouldn’t consider this as falling, but i get your point, i don’t see why sinking shouldn’t also be falling

        I should have specified: at least you won’t die from the impact

          Air is not so different from water in the grand scheme of things, we’re just designed for and acclimated to air rather than water. So yeah, I think sinking is at best a subgenre of falling.
